Police charged 20-year-old Kole Schwarz with neglect of a dependent resulting in catastrophic injury. Court records say Schwarz was the mother’s live-in boyfriend at the time. Family members say the toddler was rushed to a hospital in DeKalb County on Sept. 6, where the affidavit says he was “unresponsive and placed in a medically induced coma.” The child was later transferred to Riley Hospital in Indianapolis.
